TorqueSource ​

Ideal source applying an externally specified torque to a rotational spline.

This component models an ideal torque source for rotational mechanical systems. It takes an external signal, tau, which defines the accelerating torque to be applied to the connected mechanical spline. The component inherits its mechanical connection interface, spline, from PartialTorque. The core behavior is established by the following equation that relates the input signal tau to the torque at the spline connector:

spline.τ=−τ

This component extends from PartialTorque

Usage ​

RotationalComponents.TorqueSource()

Connectors ​

  • spline - This connector represents a rotational spline with angle and torque as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Spline)

  • support - This connector represents a rotational spline with angle and torque as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Spline)

  • tau - This connector represents a real signal as an input to a component (RealInput)

Variables ​

Ideal source applying an externally specified torque to a rotational spline.

This component models an ideal torque source for rotational mechanical systems.
It takes an external signal, `tau`, which defines the accelerating torque
to be applied to the connected mechanical `spline`. The component inherits
its mechanical connection interface, `spline`, from `PartialTorque`.
The core behavior is established by the following equation that relates the
input signal `tau` to the torque at the `spline` connector:

math spline.\tau = -\tau
